About CAS: Ever built a startup from scratch, on-the-spot and live amidst an audience? We’ve done it three times! Check out what we did in Mumbai in March (plus size lingerie!).  Alok will lead-in and then everyone from the audience will pitch ideas and we will build a LIVE PPT involving the FIVE W’s right there on stage!! This is a unique session – a learning exercise on the whole “think-through” process of starting up, conceived by Alok and is EXHILARATING! 

Alok has come up with a rocking theme: 
Apps for Apple Watch.

So think Apps.

Think how the Apple Watch will change our life.

And think of app ideas you would love to build for Apple Watch!

4:15-4:30pm

In Conversation with Rudrajeet Desai (Co-founder  & CEO of Ideacts Innovations) #inspiring

‘Breaking Out and Making Big’ is Rudrajeet’s recently published “no-nonsense” book on the learnings from his own entrepreneurial experiences of the past 6 years. This session will be a quick chat with Rudrajeet followed by a Q & A with the audience!

“Entrepreneurship cannot be taught or learnt from someone else. The very essence of entrepreneurship is that it needs one individual to start something from scratch and run it with his own philosophy and ideology. But, one can draw inspiration from others and take their own decisions and create their own philosophy. ‘Breaking Out and Making Big’ just helps you with that inspiration to carve your own path to success.”

 

 

4:30 – 5:00pm 

ASK ALOK ANYTHING!

This is an open session where you can Ask Alok Anything pertaining to your startup – share your problem, seek advice, opinions, ask for insights. This is a great opportunity to get Alok’s undivided attention. Ask him and we’ll all collectively try to solve your problem! 

5:00 – 5:30pm
